50,000 shares, Common Stock of $10 par

Issued share capital:

March 1, Year 1:

6,000 shares, Common Stock of $10 par = $60,000

Additional Paid-in Capital, 6,000 x $6 =        36,000

May 2, Year 1:

10,000 shares, Common Stock of $10 par = $100,000

Additional Paid-in Capital, 10,000 x $8 =          80,000

Total amount of capital contributed by stockholders:

Common Stock Capital = $160,000 ($60,000 + $100,000)

Additional Paid-in Capital = $116,000 ($36,000 + $80,000)
